Spring break is going to be a whole different animal for these kids this year. It only took about thirty minutes of whining from the usual whiners (I'm huuuungry, this is too haaaard!) before we finally got into a working groove. Zach likes to play the Guardians of the Galaxy station on Pandora while we work, so my kids sing along to a lot of 70's and early 80's songs. Today we got all the trim and baseboards off and sanded them down. We were going to paint some white but I'm sick of white trim, and I was worried about having some white and some dark, and this is really pretty oak... I didn't want to cover the grain. So we're staining it all the same dark Kona brown. It'll pretty much look black.
My mom is a sanding rockstar. I hope I can sand like that when I'm in my 70s. ;D
I've already put in a few days of sanding, so I didn't care that I had the most fun job today. Cutting the nails off. Good thing my dad didn't come, or he would have gotten it. ;D
The ceiling is now white. Instead of slightly pinkish white.

Haha, a rock star who left early and crashed before this was posted! I can't believe you still had the energy to write this, Sum.
